Two New Hordboords From Armstrong Cork

Two new exterior grade hardboard products-a utility board and a 5f 16" soffit board-have been announced by the Building Products Division of the Armstrong Cork Company.

Both new products possess characteristics and physical properties similar to Armstrong's exterior siding, which was developed for residential and light commercial construction late last year. The materials will not check or split during service, and require far less maintenance than conventional products used for soffits and similar exterior applications today.

Armstrong Utility Board, as its name suggests, is suitable for a variety of uses. It can be used for soffits, cornices, porch, carport and other exterior ceilings; and as vertical siding {or farm buildings, outside shelters and other similar structures. The material is manufactured in two sizes--4,' x B' x 5/16" and. U x 9' x 5/I6t', Both sizes are available unprimed, or fully factory-primed on all faces and edges.

The new Soffit Board is designed specifically for soffit applications and is available in 8' lengths, in widths of 16" and 24". The product is offered with a factory-applied prime coat only.

Both Armstrong Utility Board and Soffit Board will be distributed through Armstrong lumber and building materials dealers.

Highly Honored

A life insurance salesman called on a big business man and was finally admitted to the august presence, at the very end of the business day. Wanting him to feel what an honour had been done him, the big business man said:

"You ought to feel highly honored, highly honored, young man, at getting in here. Do you know I have refused admission to seven insurance men this afternoon?"

"Sure I know," replied the insurance man wearily; ool'm the seven.tt

Bod Doys

Everyone has bad mornings, hates to hear the telephone ring, or to see the office door open. I beg of you gentlemen, when next you meet such a morning, take a stick of dynamite and blow up one of our plants. But do not take it out on a customer of General Electric. We can replace the plant you have destroyed; we know its value; we have a reserve fund from which we can rebuild. But we cannot measure the goodwill you have destroyed, and we can never know if we have replaced it." (Owen D. Young, addressing a group of General Electric employees.)

Lady to tramp: 'oYou would stand a lot more chance of getting a job if you would shave, cut your hair, and clean yourself up." Tramp to lady: "Yes'm. I found that out."

Today the magic possibilities o{ industrial regimentation and thes so-called planned economy no longer cast the spell of yester' day. Men are becoming increasingly aware that the strongest instrumentality of revival and reconstruction is the existing system of free enterprises'
